<p>A modular anchor with a compressible spring member (90) that permits its easy retrieval from the floor (202) onto which the anchor became stuck. This retrieval is accomplished by merely pulling the anchor cable (206), the integrity of the cable being preserved as a consequence of the yielding of a spring member that is part of the modular anchor. The spring member compresses when it is subjected to sufficient pressure. The modular anchor may be disassembled to be carried in a bag (310) with other elements useful for fastening a boat to shore. The anchor preferably has a fluke (15) in the form of a plow or plowshare fluke.</p> |
